Faith Without Works Part 1 - Ralph Yankee Arnold 

Most evangelical churches use crown of life and salvation interchangeably. Im so blessed with the message. Glory to God.

This is one of the best sermons I`ve heard on this topic...it needs to have 10 million views.

I like how he wants u to read what he teaches, some people don't read they just accept the preachers words. He's sound doctrine, and wants people to read. Ty for sharing.

Amen Brother Arnold

Amen beautiful

A dead body is still a body Likewise dead faith is still faith Just dead. It's not alive, it's not fruitful, but it's still faith. Praise the lord! Salvation is free

Amen. Jesus really loves us 100%. It all makes sense than the Lordship salvation confusion.

I agree, this is one of the best sermons I've ever heard on this topic. It really helped me. I mean he really broke it down to where all could understand.

Probably some of the best teaching I have ever heard on this topic. Let's serve God with the rest of the time we have here on this side of eternity! Thanks Reverend Arnold!

wow...I never heard any SERMON so CLEAR and TRUTHFUL like this one ...this PASTOR has SHOWED me the TRUE GOSPEL ...I thank you GOD that sent brother Ralph Arnold here so I can UNDERSTAND the WORD of GOD ...THANK YOU THANK YOU JESUS...amen

best preacher i have ever listened to! great teacher & knows truth!

Amen

Work: to operate, to produce effects by action or influence. Therefore faith is not something we produce. Faith is a gift from God.

Great sermon! Pastor Arnold is a blessing. If you ever see this, sir, know that you have helped someone(me) immeasurably. 🙏🏻

Best sermon on this subject separating works/discipleship/service and grace/salvation/free gift as the Bible says. God bless you Pastor.

This is what is needed in churches these days, a clear understanding between salvation and service. Thank you so much for posting these. I could listen to these sermons all day long.

This sermon is off the hook!! So GREAT!!!!

I wish I would have had this teaching when I first got saved

Awesome Preacher ,thank you for all you do for the Kingdom , I definitely see your faith in the Lord , Praise The Lord he gets all the Glory .. ♥️

Salvation is just a matter of well-established FAITH being read by the Savior in one's heart.

The truth is so simple and so beautiful.

Love this message, it really hits home. We need more messages like this around this area, too. So glad for the internet to get these through to us. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you for rightly deving the word of true Great sermon one of the best percher's around thank you Lord for Mr Yankee God bless his ministry

Fantastic teacher. Thank you, Dr Arnold.

Great sermon I love it

I love hearing the truth praise JESUS he did it all

Amen! As Jesus said, it is the straight gate (Luke 13:24)

When I saw the title, I thought "oh no this is gonna be a works based salvation gospel."

Thanks for this, very clear teaching on the subject 👍🏻

Awesome teaching!!!!!!!!the apostolic teaching

Amen....Clear sound biblical doctrine. This message blessed me and is edifying to the Body of Christ.

Thank you pastor Ralph for this bible truth 👍👍

Wwawwww....i can finally be comfortable with my understanding and I definitely WANT to serve GOD!

Amen! Ephesians 2:8-9

There was a man who went to Bible college and did not study for exams and when he got the exam he wrote "the Lord knows I don't" and the examiner wrote he Lord passed you didn't ☺

Great stuff

Was just in a discussion on this subject, and you have cleared that question clearly! Romans 4:1-5. Thanks, Yankee!

Amen Faith without works is dead , Man is carnal ,they see your works because of your faith then God gets the Glory , God sees the heart of a man , He alone sees our Faith ,, Works without faith is dead works , your twice Dead , Dead in flesh and spirit,, until our foundation is on the Rock all our works are dead because works don’t save us , The finished works of Jesus saves us ..

Amen to that

Thank you thank you thank you for making the message of the Gospel so clear to me. I have been troubled for the past five to six months listening to messages about Christians being able to lose their salvation also have been watching messages on hell and how easy it is as a believer to forfeit their salvation because of a fault and be condemned to Eternal damnation. I thought my my my who then can be saved! Anyway thank you so much for your messages! God bless you!

There's a God in heaven that sees everything and you ain't getting away with anything hahaa I quit trying a long time ago haha

Ephesians 2:8-9 amen

There's a scripture where Jesus was talking to the Pharisees and the Pharisees asked him what works was must we do and Jesus said the works is this "believe in the one who He Has Sent."

U have faith in Christ for salvation U have faith in the spirit of God giving U understanding or wisdom or knowledge .. U have faith when U are going through trials and tribulations .. U have faith ..in loving our neighbour even with the people whom U find it hard to love U can still have faith in Christ Jesus 🙏 .. David came against the giant Goliath he came against him in the name of the Lord .. David had faith that the Lord was with him .. Jesus said that he'll be with us always .. if he's with us always then we're going to believe and have faith that he's always with even when we are going through our problems 😃 he's with us 🙄👀👍

Gotta love downloadhelper for enabling the download of this sermon.

Excellent

Amen!

How do we serve God. Doing good. Go to church. Help the poor. Not giving in to the flesh

Jesus is also the way... "I am the way, the truth and the life." Most LSers misinterpret Matt 7:14 saying there that the "way" is difficult. A better translation would be "narrow is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life..." It is narrow because it is exclusive - only through Jesus can anyone be saved. No religion, baptism, works of any kind will save you.

Those who believe the gospel, Jesus’ death burial and resurrection and witnessing are justified by the FAITH OF CHRIST!!! Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

So God chastens us even if we’re burdened down by some besetting sin? even if we openly acknowledge the sin but nonetheless still keep trying to overcome it.

great preaching brother I could fellowship at your church

I may have to make a trip to Tampa

Ralph Yankee Arnold. Trusted always to teach sound doctrine. I just want to add that 1.] The book of James is a letter to the 12 tribes of Israel who were scattered abroad. Verse 1 2.] These had become believers. They were the first fruits. Verse 18. 3.] I think (please note this is what I think, it's not stated in scripture please) I think that since these 12 tribes who came from a legalistic "must keep the Law" mindset, but now knew they were saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, were not doing works. They, in their new found freedom, felt they didn't have to do good works. And whilst this is true for salvation, for service here on earth, works are needed. So James had to address this issue, that is, believers ought to uphold the law. James stated that if someone who was very hungry and without food asked for help, how does the fact that you have faith, save the person desperately in need of food and clothing if you give him nothing to eat or clothe hinself? Can your faith save the person desperately in need of food? No. And so such a persons faith did not profit the person in need. It is in this context that the statement "faith without works is dead" is used. In other words , your faith is not profiting those around you. So yes, James 2 is about service not salvation

That was so beautiful. Thank you Jesus for your love. Is there a RU-vid channel for this preacher with all his sermons?

Keep in mind that this is not a free pass to live and act like a heathen. You will still face judgment for your works.

Excekkemt. Yes sin and works after sakvation lead to chastisement and.loss/earning of rewards

Thanks for the post. How about the parable of the 4 seeds? Can somebody explain its connection to this message?

Does he have a sermon about Hebrews 10? Jack smack did one when I asked him, but I wondered if there was a sermon on it? He explains things so well!!

AND, THIS IS TRUE, BECAUSE IF SALVATION IS ALSO BY WORKS, THEN THE BIBLE SHOULD ALSO SAY, HOW MANY AND, WHAT KIND OF A GOOD WORKS WE HAVE TO DO EVERY DAY, OR EVERY HOUR...LOL

salvation is grace but he said if you don't do his will you won't go to heaven. his will is works. Works must matter or rewards would be the same for everyone.no company pays everyone the same. go and sin no more ..not all you want.

Salvation By Grace, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 seems to indicate though that a changed life is required to get into heaven. Here is the apparent dilemma, at least in my mind, between Free Grace and Lordship Salvation. The Free Grace camp, if I understand this correctly, would say a homosexual (or drunkard, fornicator, etc) can receive the free gift of salvation without turning from sin. The Lordship Salvation camp says that for someone to truly get saved then they must turn from their sin. I'm not completely clear on this yet because the differences seem subtle but I'm interested in dissecting this argument so I can understand exactly.

What does Luke 12 mean? But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. QUOTE END Is he speaking to saved or unsaved people?

I went to university and got a B.A the problem is it was a bad attitude I got ☺

St. Paul says that we cannot earn the CALL to Christ by our works. In Paul's time, Jewish Christian converts did not allow non-Jews to become Christians because non-Jews were deep in sin and did not do the works of the Law. St. Paul tells Jewish Christians that the CALL to Christ is not earned by works but it given freely to even those deep in sin. Paul writes Abraham wa called BEFORE he was circumcised so he did not earn the call. But after accepting the call we have to do good works.

Isaiah 64:6 so relax brother

"Rewards" plural is not found in the bible.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Daniel 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Eph 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: Jas 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Jas 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. Jas 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1Jn 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. There are dozens of other scriptures that say the same thing. To take a few scriptures out of context from Romans to sooth your fleshly mind and conscience will not save you when Jesus judges you by your works as he said he would in multiple verses in Revelations, two of which I just quoted.

1 Corinthians 6:9. What about “the unrighteous, sexually immoral, adulterers, thieves…. will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Isn’t there a limit to what we can do and still get into Heaven? Not that I’m planning on it of course, but I see MANY professed Christians sleeping outside of marriage. Will they forfeit their salvation?

Ephesians 2:8-9 Probably the most misunderstood pair of verses in the Bible. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. Faith is not a claim its not a thought. James says it perfectly. James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. Faith is not an emotion or a mere word Faith must have action (evidence) behind it or it is meaninglessThat is why Jesus and Paul say to repent first which is evidence that one has Faith to believe. Mark 1:15 Acts 20:21, Acts 26:20. We are saved by His Precious Grace through evidence of Faith. Ephesians 2:9 Our works we've done regardless of how noble or much are as filthy rags in God's eyes. However this is where many go wrong we absolutely are to do works (bear fruit) in His name. John 15:1-6 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Without bearing fruits ( works for Jesus) we will be cut off and cast into the fire. Clearly Loss of salvation. Matthew 10:8 Matthew 28:19 John 14:12 And More. The next verse is almost always left out brings up doing works in Christ. Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. So if you haven't shown evidence of faith by first repenting of sin you are not a believer in God's eyes.

Salvation according to scripture is life . One can't earn this life by doing multiple acts of good works. It something that we receive by faith in our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . On the cross Jesus took away all our sins and penalty for sin so that we can live a life again, spiritual life I mean. This is what the apostle Paul mean. Jesus our precious lord and saviour died to death so that we having died with him to death and sin ( which is the real meaning of baptism ) we may appropriate the heavenly (spiritual life) on this earth. It is not all about escaping hell and going to heaven. It's actually about living that life for which our precious Saviour died and rose again. Its not whether faith alone or faith and works that eventually gets us to heaven. But rather am I after receiving the divine life from God solely on the merits of Jesus ( by faith alone ) having my sins paid and washed is now willing to live that LIFE !

Faith in Jesus means faith in everything Jesus taught, including that good works are necessary for salvation---see Matthew 25: 31-46. Faith alone will not save us. The rich man in the Lazarus-rich man parable had faith---he called on father Abraham---but he lacked the good works of feeding the poor. The devil himself believes in Christ (Luke 4:34) but the devil will never be saved because the devil lacks good works.

Obedience to God is not works. The Apostle Paul said that he was no longer a sinner after he came to know Jesus and received the Holy Spirit. Paul said, "At one time (past tense) we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior..." Titus 3:3-6 Notice, Paul said that Jesus saved them from disobedience through the Holy Spirit. Paul became a true man of God who preached against sin. It wouldnt make sense for a sinner to preach against sin. The bible calls that a hypocrite which Paul was not. Paul also told us that Jesus only gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey him. Paul said, "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts 5:32 Scripture says that Paul was not a sinner and sinners do not have the Holy Spirit living in them.

Faith without works is dead.

The work's of God is not living the way U want or living like the DEVIL 😈 ... U can teach people to do God's works by listening to the spirit of God or U can teach people the devil's works . Apart from the spirit of God.🤔

Can a person have works without faith? Yes, as evidenced in Matthew 7:21-23. These “workers of iniquity” (as the Lord called them) performed “many wonderful WORKS” in Jesus' name, but they went about to establish their own righteousness, instead of submitting themselves to the righteousness of God, which is through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:3-4; 2nd Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:9). Can a person have faith without works? Yes, as evidenced in John 12:42-43. The Scriptures say that “many of the chief rulers BELIEVED” (had faith) on the Lord Jesus Christ, but they “DID NOT CONFESS HIM.” They were afraid of persecution from the Pharisees. They had faith without works! Also, we see the repentant thief on the cross, who had no time to shew forth any works. And again we see in 1st Corinthians 3:15, at the Judgment Seat of Christ, that some men will barely “be saved; yet so as by fire.” 1st Corinthians 3:15, “If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” Clearly, this man was saved but HAD NO WORKS! So if works were necessary to validate faith for salvation, then this man could not have gone to Heaven. Yet, the Bible teaches that “HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED,” despite having NO WORKS whatsoever!!! So many Christians today are living shallow lives, choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life (Luke 8:14), who never bear any fruit (no souls saved) unto the Lord. God's desire for every believer is to mature so that they “BRING FORTH FRUIT” (Luke 8:15). Fruitless believers won't shine in Heaven (Daniel 12:3). It is every believer's duty to share the Gospel with the lost. God is our co-laborer (1st Corinthians 3:8-9). The Holy Spirit speaks to people's hearts, as our words speak to their minds. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to “THEM THAT BELIEVE” (Romans 1:16). Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

No. That faith IS talking about Salvation. BUT NOT FOR US. that verse is for the 12 Tribes of Israel scattered abroad

Sounds good. Most churches mix the 2 main gospels. Faith and works were together for Jews. But Paul has verses that seperated. Under Paul . Jesus taught Paul 3 years mysteries of grace. . Most don’t see the difference. What a shame . I was so Sadd till I learned. James came from Jewish law. We still work. But it’s now seperated from faith. Wake up. See Ron knight . At norcalgrace. 😮Must see Jim brackin n Ron knight n steave Atwood n Jim devney n Richard Jordan n Lesfeldick ministries explains church ⛪️ mixes the two main gospels 😮

Mr. Arnold misunderstands, Abraham was justified by his works, (but not works alone) but because he believed with faith he did the works that God required. Romans 4:2-5 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. James 2:21-24 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Without works Abraham's faith would have been meaningless. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.

Does this preacher have apostolic authority to Preach? Is he infallible?

16 atheists disliked this

Faith without Jesus finished work on the cross is dead. We can justify our selves before men by good works, but not before God. Romans 4:2 thru 8.. If we could be saved by works, then Jesus died in vain. John 3:18 Believers are no longer condemned. That makes John 3:16 true. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that WHOSOEVER, BELIVETH in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life Jesus said it, I believe it, and that settles it. I am a WHOSOEVER, THEREFORE I HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. John 6:47 Romans 3:26 thru 28. My rewards in heaven are based on my works. First Corinthians 3:11-21 If all my works are burned up, I will lose all my rewards, but I am still saved so as by fire. Only my rewards can be lost. First Corinthians 3:15. if you have done the will of His Father in heaven, John 6:40 you have done the work of God. John 6:40 If our works could save us, then Jesus died in vain. Thank God He did not die in vain, he died to pay my debt and set me FREE.

God is no respecter of persons. He will save anyone by faith alone in Jesus finished work on the cross alone apart from works. Romans 4:5. I love this book. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, and we all sin, and we all die, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE, through Jesus finished work on the cross alone. Romans 11:29 For the GIFTS, eternal life, and calling of God are without repentance. Irrevocable, Can not be changed back. Ephesians 1:13 and 14. Our guarantee of eternal life. We are sealed unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30 What if we lose our faith? Second Timothy 2:13. If we believe not, He abideth faithful, He can not deny Himself. His Holy Spirit that lives in all believers who seals us forever as a child of God. He may chasten you, but He will not condemn you. John 3:18 John 1:12 and Romans 1:16.

James calls everyone he talks to "Bretren" in those 12 verses in chapter 2 of James...that means he believes they are his brothers and sisters in Christ. If James 2:14 is not talking about reward as Romans 4 says then WE would have a gigantic "contradiction" in ALL of the BIBLE (and consequently the "ENTIRE BIBLE WOULD BECOME SUSPECT")...but we do not have a contradiction, because James is talking about REWARDS and "WORKS before MEN"..."NOT before GOD"...Romans 4:2 !

This preacher does not understand the Role of Law in our Faith. He was trying to seperate the Grace apart from the Law which is INSEPERABLE..There is no Grace if there is no SIN, which is a transgression of the Law and the wages of sin is death. So sin was there because the Law was there and we are all under the condemnation of sin in which Jesus paid for after we accepted Him as our personal Saviour and to turn away from our sins and not to continue sinning, because we will be judge thru our deeds. How come James was not talking about Salvation, but only Christian Service, where in fact he emphasized " Can such Faith Save him?" .....Save from what???..... FROM HELL IF WE WILL CONTINUE SINNING LIKE HAVING A DEAD FAITH WITHOUT WORKS!, WHO DOES NOT OBEY, NO FRUIT, BUT TRANSGRESSED!..like a fruitless fig tree that was cursed!...like a hypocrite Pharisees professing that they have faith but no faith (dead faith) only own works and was condemned by Jesus!. Beware of Lawlessness!

Brother U always talk like this .. what have u got against people who want to please God .. is there anything else that U can talk about ..
